Just days after Mike Perry was easily beaten in the boxing ring, his opponent Jake Paul decided to propose an offer to him.
Perry has been on a tear since leaving the UFC for bare knuckle boxing over three years ago. The self-proclaimed ‘King of Violence’ became the face of BKFC during that time, but his stature in combat sports took a hit last time out.
Taking on the Jake Paul challenge as many MMA fighters did before him, Mike Perry agreed to meet Jake between the ropes but it didn’t take long for the surging boxer to take the initiative.
The YouTube star put on a flawless display before finishing Perry in the sixth round. BKFC shareholder Conor McGregor didn’t like what he saw from his prized asset, thus telling ‘Platinum’ that he no longer has a home in his company.
“Hey, Mike, you’re released,” McGregor said on X. “You can go and compete in your smelly, dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck. You’re fired.”
Hey Mike youre released and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck. You’re fired. @bareknucklefc

Mike Perry has since responded to Conor McGregor, insisting he too owns a part of the company and cannot be fired.

Though, if Perry ever wanted to part ways with BKFC and venture into something new, Jake Paul may have just provided that opportunity. Shortly after getting his hand raised against the UFC veteran, the influencer sent a proposal to the Michigan native.
“Mike Perry, as you got fired by Conor McGregor from BKFC, we will hire you at Betr into a partnership and give you some sort of role.”
“We’ll figure out what that’s going to be. Betr has a job for you, Mike Perry.”
“We can maybe start a podcast with him or something; we’ll figure it out.”
